Melezlenmesiyle

Melezlenmesiyle is a Turkish adverbial expression meaning “by hybridization” or “through the process of hybridizing.” It is formed from the verb melezlemek (to hybridize, crossbreed) and the noun melezlenme (hybridization), with the suffix -siyle (or ile) indicating means or manner. The phrase is used to attribute a result, trait, or method to the process of crossing or combining different varieties.

Etymology and grammar: melezlenme is a deverbal noun derived from melezlemek; adding the possessive/derivational suffix -si and the instrumental/adjunct suffix -yle yields melezlenmesiyle. Grammatically, it functions as an adverbial adjunct of manner or means, specifying how something was produced or obtained. It can introduce a clause or appear within a sentence to specify causation or method.

Usage: The expression is common in scientific and agricultural texts, including genetics, botany, and breeding reports, where outcomes are linked to hybridization. Examples include sentences such as “Bu çeşit, melezlenmesiyle elde edildi” (This variety was obtained through hybridization) and “Yeni özellikler melezlenmesiyle ortaya çıktı” (New traits emerged through hybridization). It helps distinguish results derived from crossbreeding from those arising through natural variation, mutation, or selection alone.

Related terms: melez (hybrid), melezlemek (to hybridize), melezlenme (hybridization process), and melezlenmesi (the act or state of being hybridized). The form melezlenmesiyle specifically emphasizes the means of achieving a result and is primarily found in technical or scientific Turkish.
